For active astronauts
Switzerland’s first planet trail takes visitors from Burgdorf to Wynigen and is perfect for all fans of our solar system, no matter the age. What gave trail its name? The models of the planets, of course! On a scale of 1:1 billion, the size of the sun and the planets as well as the planets’ distance to the sun are exhibited as a large-scale open-air model over a distance of about 6 kilometres. Along the way, you will discover all the planets and accompanying informative panels as well as pretty spots for picnic breaks. We recommend the barbecuing pit on the edge of the forest behind the Binzberg farm, which you will reach after about 45 minutes. At this point, you will have already passed the sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
Please note: the information along the way is only available in German.
